PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The No. 34 nationally ranked Endicott club men's rugby program finished seventh overall at the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) 7s National Championship this weekend at Talen Energy Stadium, home to Major League Soccer's (MLS) Philadelphia Union.

On Saturday, Endicott opened up the tournament with a 45-5 loss to No. 1 nationally ranked Iowa Central Community College, but bounced back against No. 15 Christendom via a 22-0 triumph.
